Can you hear this video? MP4 embed in comment autoplays, but muted - no option to save/enlarge/unmute/open URL in browser

The above comment embeds this link:

Voyager Version: 2.9.1 (just updated and retested)
Also tried turning silent off on the iPhone 14 Pro just in case
PS: aeharding, you the bomb 💙
Edit: I mean to say I can’t use a control on the video to open the video URL in a browser. I was able to use Voyager’s feature to open the specific comment in a browser window though, and there (in Safari) it played with sound and some native iOS controls when I tapped on it.
Video support in comments is currently limited to short reaction GIFs - e.g. no scrubbing/unmuting. As a workaround I recommend linking to videos instead of embedding. In the future this will likely get better :)
4Thanks for the info!!
Coulda sworn it was supported in the past, otherwise I would’ve framed it more as an enhancement request.
Hope you’re nearly to a good weekend :)

The video plays for me as well but no sound. I’m using the PWA on iOS.
2Same here. Including when silent is off.
1Thanks for reporting in :)
And assume you meant “but no sound”
1Lol whoops. You’ve got it right. I fixed up my previous comment

On Android here: the video plays on the comment from brbposting but there is no audio and no controls for play/pause, mute/unmute, etc.
2Same. Thanks!

Audio did not play for me in Voyager but I was able to copy the URL to Safari and open it where it did play.
1Thanks, and me too.
Added when you reminded me:

2I suspected but wanted to be thorough just in case

That's weird, for me on Voyager, no comments at all are displayed for the linked post.
1Thanks for that, I have to check that fediverse investigator site and see if the two of us are defederated or something.
